Installing dependencies efficiently
 

Hi guys,

I am new to linux, and while installing softwares, I find that (failed) dependencies are such a pain in the s.

I was just wondering, instead of using yum or online to find dependencies 1 by 1. Is there any faster method to go about installing dependencies? or any advice that makes linux installation a swift?

Thanks in advance!

If properly configured, yum should automatically determine and download all dependencies for any given package you may wish to install. That's exactly what package managers like yum, apt, pacman, urpmi, etc are designed to do. If you are getting missing dependencies you probably don't have your repos setup right.

using rpm

# rpm -ivh [package name] -aid --force
